New Country Trio One Flew South Releases Decca Records Debut CD

Posted by Lisa L. Rollins May 23, 2009

Decca Records recording artists One Flew South, a new vocal trio who has just released its brand-new single titled Life, which is a tune that champions human triumph against the odds.

Per label reports, the act—which comprises New Orleans, La., native Chris Roberts, El Paso, Texas, son Royal Reed and South Carolina’s Eddie Bush—has been likened to echoing the early sounds of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, The Eagles, Poco and The Beach Boys.

"From the first moment the three of us sang together it felt like home," Roberts said in the group’s artist bio.

"There was something about the way that we all came together," Royal added. "Musically it all just fell into place. It just felt right."

Featured on the March cover of Music Connection Magazine, the debut CD by One Flew South was produced by Marcus Hummon, a Nashville-based songwriter whose catalog contains six No. 1 tunes recorded by the likes of The Dixie Chicks, Tim McGraw and Rascal Flatts.

As for initial reviews, one of this writer’s favorite country historian’s, Bob Oermann, has said this about the Life single: “The lyric is pure poetry. The production is a swirl of wonder. The harmonized vocals are celestial. This little piece of magic is like a country version of CSN&Y."

RPR media rep Brandy Reed, in a recent e-mail, gushed over the trio, saying,”Their vocal abilities are so overwhelming that they can sit down with only stools and guitars and fill the room with such a powerful blending of voices that it nearly knocks you off your chair. In fact, that is just how they have been performing since the record's release and have opened up for acts such as Heart, Phil Vassar, the Zac Brown Band and Juliane Hough. …”

On their forthcoming CD, the trio also managed to team with distinguished songsmith J.D. Souther (of Eagles fame) to write several of the album’s tracks on the album.
